Does not affect this month: *
Software outside of the month only gets added if it's in the top 20: **

This is frigin' ridiculous. You explain to me how a console that wasn't in the top 100 6 hours ago is suddenly at #03 but 'out of stock'. Amazon are messing with the charts to promote the Switch. It won't affect this month but come March I'm not going to be so sure 'preorders' will guarentee a big win for the Switch.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Switch Neon bundle was never available for preorder?  I never found it and it never showed up before in the charts.  It would seem, like the pro controller, it only just became available for preorder and sold out immediately, hence the spike.
